Record audio

Keyboard Shortcuts

Evernote allows you to take, store, and organize audio notes. This is a convenient feature, as it allows students to record lectures, meetings, or audio messages that they can then label and store in the corresponding notebook. Although the audio quality isn't the greatest when you use this application, it can still be an effective way to record important content.

- [Instructor] We've taken notes inside of Evernoteusing a couple different methods.First, we typed them directly into Evernote.And next, we used some pen and paper noteswhich we scanned and then entered into a specific notebookwithin our Evernote account.In this video, I want to take a quick look at another waythat we can add content, and that is by using audio.Right now I'm inside of the Android applicationfor Evernote, and I'm going to go to the bottomright and click on the plus sign.This is to add another note.

Now you'll see I get the different options,for camera, attachment, and the third one down is audio.If I click this, it will begin our recording.So as you can see in the upper left corner,it is counting up from four, five seconds, six seconds,this is recording the audio.So you could use this to record a lecture,you could use it to record a meeting,or you could simply use it to record your own voiceand add in an audio message instead of typing something in.

I think this is a powerful way to use this application.Now, in the top left, if I click stop,you'll see that it adds this audio file directlyinto this note.It gives us the date, the time it was entered,the size of it, and more.We can click here, and we have some optionsto play it, copy it, remove it, or we can evendownload it.So I'm going to back out of that.Now at the top, I can change the title of this,and we can go in, now I usually would enter in the dateand everything with this, but I'm going to simply type inlecture notes.

And then I will save it.If I back out, you'll see that we have added inthe lecture notes that we can access here.Now if I go into the desktop app, first I'm going togo to the top and click the refresh or sync symbol,so here it will sync my files.And now if I go into the biology notebook,you'll notice that right away it syncs the notesthat we typed in, the notes we scanned in,as well as the lecture notes.So all of them exist inside of this notebook.

Now you can also use the desktop app to record as well.So here if I wanted to click inside of the psychologynotebook and let's say I want to add a new note,and I'll title this lecture notes,and then when I click inside the body to starttyping out notes, you'll notice we have the rich texteditor, but to the right there is an icon of a microphone.If I click this again, I can start adding my notesby clicking the record button and adding in audio notes.

So again this could be recording a lecture, a meeting,or just me adding in audio rather than typing it out.I'll click stop, and again it adds that.So Evernote allows us to add audio, which can bea very effective way to enter content and save itin our account.
